you can use a "special" name for a dylib in OS X that permits you to  
locate it relative to the actual executable

instead of

        Soft declare sub/function name lib "lib name" ....

use
         Soft Declare Sub/function name Lib "@executable_path/../ 
Frameworks/lib name" ....

and then in the OS X version you copy your dylib into the FrameWorks  
folder in the package
